Stocks in Auto Manufacturers - Major

Stocks in the Auto Manufacturers - Major industry are also in the
Consumer Goods
sector.

Companies in the Consumer Goods sector make and sell products to the average person like you and me. Think of soft drinks, food, paper products, and anything else you load into your grocery cart. This broad sector includes companies which sell essential things (you will still buy soap and deodorant even if the economy is bad) as well as companies which produce more luxury goods (you might cut down your imported dark chocolate budget if times are tight).
